Transhuman

I donโ€™t think the transhumanists and singularitians are wrong, exactly. Mainly their timescale is. They believe their envisioned post-human reverie will arrive in a generation or two while I think itโ€™ll be 5,000 to possibly even a million years hence.

Assuming humans survive that long at all, which right now Iโ€™d put at about 10%.

So in a way, I donโ€™t believe in that future at all, because I doubt weโ€™ll survive in any form.

But if we do survive, then I think itโ€™s nearly-inevitable that weโ€™ll change ourselves in now nigh-unimaginable ways, gain better control of matter and space, and expand out into the galaxy. Doesnโ€™t violate the laws of physics and is within the realm of human understanding, so itโ€™ll probably happen just as a random walk across complexity space.
